Peggy registered with her last name but now her username is only Peggy, so yes, it's possible on some level. I'd be surprised if this functionality wasn't included in the Admin panel sooner or later. I'd guess the function is already there.

On the other hand could just allow the admin to set the limit as to much often they can change their names. Larger communities it's nice so you don't have 50,000 members relying on admins to change their name(not saying all 50k would at once)

Perhaps a setting that will allow a user to change their username within a certain time of activating their account, and maybe the option to change their username becomes available every x amount of days/months (admin permissible of course). Upon changing of the username, it would put out a message on the news feeds, and that's that.

When you run a large or active site, you will receive daily username change requests. Its sheer madness to work on this for some hours a week, when your site is your hobby.
But this is actually a great opportunity to get some income. Just let members pay for each name change and automatize the process, like digital point has done here.

Anyway: I'd very much like to have a usergroup setting to allow members to change their own username every X days. I'd turn this on for VIP members only.

I would like XF to have the ability for each user to change their own username. More and more members are PM'ing me about this, and it would be a relief to have the option to grant them this permission.
